    Abstract: An assembly for supplying power to an aircraft is disclosed having at least one battery housed in a respective housing, each housing comprising a wall in which a through-opening is arranged, and an exhaust device including a discharge duct connecting each housing opening to a common discharge port, a valve mounted on each opening. Each valve includes a membrane arranged so as to seal the opening closed and having a surface of pressure application towards the inside of the housing and a surface of pressure application towards the outside of the housing. The surface of pressure application towards the outside of the housing is larger than the surface of pressure application towards the inside of the housing, so that the membrane bursts at a bursting pressure inside the housing that is lower than a bursting pressure reached outside the housing.

    Abstract: An electric power supply system for a Hall effect electric thruster. The Hall effect electric thruster includes an anode, a cathode, a heater for the cathode and an igniter. The electric power supply system includes a first power supply source to power the anode, a second power supply source to power the heater and a power supply unit to electrically supply the igniter. The power supply unit includes a third power supply source and a passive electric circuit. The third power supply source powers the passive electric circuit and is configured to generate a voltage in the form of at least one pulse.
